Cozy Japanese restaurant with a lot of healthy options. Food is always fresh and very tasty. It's a quite pricey place, but every dish worth the price. My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here and stayed absolutely satisfied with service and food. We will definitely be back.

The place was perfect for unwinding while enjoying the food. Also the servers were ever present to provide whatever we liked from their cafe menu. My husband was so happy with your service because you made the order exactly what we wanted. The chef nailed it perfectly. That was memorable. Thank you so much!

I highly recommend Eddy's.This is our favorite restaurant in Sultan Restaurant! The tiny dining area is wonderful. Old world charm, quiet enough to have a meaningful conversation with your companion and the food is to die for!

This place was delicious. There's a reason why it's famous. Very affordable, pleasant atmosphere, and easy to book (just walked in).The kofte were awesome. Grape leaf rolls had a nice lemony flavor I've never experienced elsewhere. The spinach and cheese pastries were a bit overcooked however.I would definitely be going back.

I came with a coworker for lunch, we were seated and served very quickly. We decided to order a bunch of small things and share, which turned out to be a great idea. AMAZING!

A lovely dining experience. The staff was so friendly and happy to spend time chatting with us about dishes and other things. Everything was so done so mindfully - the dishes, the plating, the ingredients, etc. we had the veggie tasting menu and the dishes were delicious

A great little place on the main tourist drag. On our second visit, they remembered us from the first meal. Food is very quick and simple. We always got our desserts here. During lunch it is very busy with tourist groups being fed via pointing and placing the order on a cafeteria tray and eating upstairs.

I would say it was just a tad too long, in between dishes. But amazing nonetheless. It may be just our impatient nature these days or the fact that we have a kid that had the time on our mind. :) We enjoyed it very much, thank you!

n/naka is a small plate restaurant with big taste. There is a generous array of items from which to choose, and all are good. Don’t pass in desert, it’s fabulous.

When we decided to eat upstairs, a server carried our tray upstairs for us. We found the employees to all be very helpful. Our favorite item was a fall-apart tender beef roast covered in a thin dough that came with mashed potatoes and rice pilaf.

Typical LA food lots of avocado but it's LA and I expect that. This place is very cool I love the open patio dining perfect for beautiful DTLA days. Service was great! My server was super attentive and fast. I had the tuna avocado roll. The fish was fresh and the avocado was the perfect ripened. The portions were perfect for a light lunch and it was presented beautifully. I definitely would come back and try more of their menu items.

An elegant dining experience! They had fresh truffles flown in the night I dined, so a few off hand dishes were offered. I'm glad I choose a pasta, as it was divine. Overall this is a lovely Restaurant, and the service was great and ambience was perfect. Still a lovely place to enjoy an evening. I highly recommend this restaurant for their exceptional service and food!

Once you grab your number, you will seat yourself and they will bring the food out to you. It was busy in there, but we had no problem snagging up a spot to sit. There is are common tables, bar seating, tables in the back, and high top seating along the edges. Though it was pretty loud in there, it is a bit of an echo chamber.

Seriously, the name says it all! This place had quick service a delicious options. Reminded me of the freshness I experienced in Tel Aviv.I had the Falafel Plate and a Grape Leaf. My falafel plate came with two side options, which I of coursed picked my favorite Hummus and yogurt. Those two sides are perfectly paired with Falafel. The falafel itself was very well made and soft. I wanted to eat all of them and stuff my face. The grape leave was a good starter.

Outstanding scene for quality american food. Arrived at seven, it wasn't crowded. Certainly worth a return visit. Prices that won't break you. Food is similar to a cafe in Indianapolis I liked.

We were enticed by the food that was on display at the window and didn't regret it. We were there before the lunch crowd and the food were fresh coming out of the kitchen so, we had the best.

This is a great local home-style Italian place. The vibe is dim and relaxed, with a hint of that formal white tablecloth feel. I came with my gf on a weekday night and enjoyed a really great spinach and cheese ravioli paired with one of the best resilings I've had in a while. The ravioli was perfectly tender and thoroughly cooked. Service on the patio was attentive although I occasionally found myself with an empty glass of water for longer than I would have wanted. Tables on the inside are fairly close together so if you're looking for a more romantic or private date, try the teacup lighted patio :)

The food was good and came quickly. Lunch time crowd was heavy, but the 16 of us squeezed in to four tables, ate all sorts of good food and went merrily on our way to the next place we had scheduled. I had lentil soup.

Thanks for offering the Kaiseki Jūbako - a light into this quarantine time.The piece of melting otoro instantly transported one into a transcendental realm. Then the culinary craftsmanship somehow locked the very gist of each meat in itself, be it wagyu, duck, lobster - or eggplant. Meantime the delicate and subtle tastes of truffle & liver sauce, of mustard, of sesame dressing, or of the deep smokiness permeating the fish, was unforgettable - or perhaps beyond words. And at the end, praise the strawberry (red bean) daifuku - didn’t know a daifuku has such potentiality!P.S. I have no idea how I managed to score one last Saturday. Best luck 🔔

n/naka is very popular - and rightfully so, as the food is decent. But the wait is always very long. If you don't mind waiting for breakfast, try it out. The servers are nice, but you can tell they are slammed.

Loved every minute, from the incredibly kind staff to the clean, artful presentation to the amazing flavors of the food. Chef Niki is a force. And the best part is she's so down to earth. I will be thinking about some of these dishes for months! Can't wait to come back.

Justly famous, brilliant, auteur cuisine. They keep track of everything each guest is served, and you won't find a repeat on subsequent visits. You might have ordered the same tasting menu as the table next to you, and you might have different dishes. Mindblowingly good.

Don't know where to start here. Parking? Easy enough to find street parking but valet is available.The dining area is a cozy, unassuming space and the ambiance is perfect for the meal. As expected, the service is perfect - enough attention but not too much to disrupt the meal.We watched the Chef's Table and were inspired by Chef Niki's story and passion. We had high expectations coming in and I was almost worried I was hyping it up too much - I was wrong. The meal was hands-down the best meal I've ever had. The courses made sense from one to the next and the flavors were incredibly clean and well balanced. The portions were just enough for you to get more bites because it was delicious but not over-indulge. Getting to meet Chef Niki after the meal and seeing how polite and warm she was was the cherry on top. Is it pricey? Sure. Is it worth it? Absolutely. I'd come back here every month if I could afford it.

Outstanding food and service. The churro ice cream dessert is a must. I don't drink beer, but it appears that they have a great selection. Happy Hour is the best, parking is a challenge but not a deal breaker.

I like to visit this Restaurant every time when I want to think about something or spend time with my close friends. The atmosphere inside was also great. There are a great number of small tables and cozy chairs and sofas. It was very comfortable to sit on them with a small company of people. I will definitely be back here again and again!

The food here is just like my Oma made. Everything was very authentic. The staff is a little cold. We didn't have a reservation, which evidently is more than encouraged. Even though the restaurant was half empty. Everything is a la carte, so if you want a salad or some potato salad that will cost you extra.

Questions & Answers

Modern Kaiseki is $185 plus tax and tip. Expect to pay $235pp unless you get the wine/sake pairing. Then it is closer to $285

Young children who can't stay still or keep their volume down would not be good. I don't think they have a children menu so you will be paying for extra meals. Also, everyone else is paying a lot of money for an experience and loud and unruly children is not what they are paying for.

https://n-naka.com/reservations/

$275 per person with optional $125 wine\sake pairing. https://n-naka.com/menus

Yes. $200 plus per person, plus any alcohol which can easily be a few more hundred. The menu is prix fixe, so at least you know the cost up front.

Yes. Just have to keep trying or get on wait list. Sometimes they have last minute cancellation.

Yes, they make it easier for those who have already dined there to book directly with them after their meal or even email them afterwards. They welcome you to come back since you know what to expect and less likely to cancel your reservation.
